The Reserve Bank of Australia has appointed Ms Michele Bullock to the position of
Assistant Governor (Business Services). Since December 2010, Ms Bullock has
held the position of Assistant Governor (Currency). In her new position,
she will assume the additional responsibility for the Bank's Banking
and Payments Settlements departments upon the retirement of Mr Keith Hall,
Assistant Governor (Banking & Payments) in early December 2015.

Ms Bullock holds a Masters of Science (Economics) degree from the London School of
Economics and a Bachelor of Economics (Hons) degree from the University of
New England. She has over 30 years of central banking experience. Before
being appointed as the Assistant Governor (Currency) she was the Adviser,
Currency Group and, before that, Head of Payments Policy Department.

Mr Hall has been the Assistant Governor (Banking & Payments) since 2008. Before
this he held a variety of senior positions across the Bank spanning a career
of 40 years, including in roles focusing on banking supervision and financial
stability. In recent years, Mr Hall has made a major contribution to the
IMF's technical assistance programs in these fields.

The Governor, Glenn Stevens, takes this opportunity to thank Mr Hall for his outstanding
service to the Reserve Bank across a wide range of roles and to wish him
and his family well for the future.
